Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere

Vermont Connect the Dots & Climate Impacts Day

Dear friends:

This is it, Vermont. Tomorrow, May 5, people all across the state will stand with our global community to connect the dots on climate impacts:: www.climatedots.org

Here in the Green Mountains, we’ll gather in Waitsfield to share our stories, make art, plant trees and then close this epic day with a huge rally and an iconic group photo. We won’t solve the climate crisis in one day, but together we can help the world understand the urgency of the challenge.

The rally starts at 3:30 and will include Bill McKibben, Governor Shumlin, Bernie Sanders, and other local leaders.

1:00 – 3:30 Stories from the front lines of climate change in Vermont. A mixture of conference, fair, and town meeting will bring to life the rich mixture of voices from our statewide community.

3:30 Rally with Governor Shumlin, Bernie Sanders, and local leaders.

4:00 Bill McKibben will connect the dots to the international climate movement and stage the largest aerial photo ever taken for climate action in Vermont.

Please park at Waitsfield Telecom, Waitsfield Elementary School, or Kenyon’s Field (parking shuttle provided by Aldo the GreaseVan, which runs on locally sourced waste vegetable oil and is provided courtesy of the Tunbridge Grease Collective).
